Commanders sign Stefon Diggs, completing major offseason moves

Summary

The Washington Commanders have signed free-agent wide receiver Stefon Diggs to a one-year deal worth $12 million, completing a significant offseason overhaul. General Manager Adam Peters aimed to provide more support for franchise quarterback Jayden Daniels, especially at the receiver position. The Commanders previously made other notable acquisitions, including edge rushers Odafe Oweh and K'Lavon Chaisson and linebacker Leo Chenal. Diggs' addition strengthens an already improved wide receiver group alongside Terry McLaurin. Training camp has seen the Commanders' defense exhibiting faster and more aggressive play under the changes Peters has implemented.
